Installation Instructions

[EugeneLiang]

Hi there,

I found the installation instructions a little buggy, so i need your help here.

I followed your instructions and am currently stuck on the step where I need to replace index.php found in WordPress root directory with the index.php file your plugin provided.

The index.php file in your plugin has only these lines: <?php require('index-wp-redis.php');

However, upon installing the plugin with the index.php provided by the plugin, my wordpress pages/posts/home page etc returns an empty page.

Than, i changed the index.php file in your plugin to:

<?php
require('index-wp-redis.php');

/**
 * Front to the WordPress application. This file doesn't do anything, but loads
 * wp-blog-header.php which does and tells WordPress to load the theme.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 */

/**
 * Tells WordPress to load the WordPress theme and output it.
 *
 * @var bool
 */
define('WP_USE_THEMES', true);

/** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */
require( dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/wp-blog-header.php' );

And placed it in my WordPress root directory.

Now, my wordpress installation is working fine again.

However, I am not sure if the page/posts are generated from Redis, or is it from MySQL.

May i know if my installation steps are correct ?

Cheers!

The wording in your issue makes me think that you have the "plugin" and the root index file confused. The 2 fileshttps://github.com/BenjaminAdams/wp-redis-cache/blob/master/index-wp-redis.php and https://github.com/BenjaminAdams/wp-redis-cache/blob/master/index.php belong in the root directory of your Wordpress installation.

Hi there,

apologies, yes I have placed both https://github.com/BenjaminAdams/wp-redis-cache/blob/master/index-wp-redis.php and https://github.com/BenjaminAdams/wp-redis-cache/blob/master/index.php in the root of the WordPress directory.

You should have custom errors on and it won't show the php white screen of death! On Dec 20, 2015 9:04 PM, "Eugene Liang" notifications@github.com wrote:
